Hobbs
About 40,000 people.
Hobbs is an energetic city in the far southeast corner of New Mexico, built on oil, ranching, and hard work. It is known for wide skies that are perfect for flying and gliding.
You can watch quiet gliders soar over the plains, visit a fun science and space center, and cheer at local rodeos and ball games.

Land of Gliders
The smooth air and open plains around Hobbs make it one of the best places in the country to fly gliders, which are planes with no engine. Pilots come from far away to soar in silence.

Energy Town
Hobbs sits on top of huge oil and gas fields, so it is one of the busiest working towns in the state. You can learn how energy is found and used at the local science center.
